Porn found in Osama bin Laden's compound
Following the Raid on Osama bin Laden's compound Ameican officials rported that an extensive collection of pornography was found in the compound.[1] Peter Bergen, the last western journalist to interview bin Laden, and the author of a book on him, was skeptical that this was bin Laden's personal collection. Journalist Asra Q. Nomani reported that the collection consisted of computer files found on computers within the compound.[2] She reported that American forces routinely found pornagraphy when they raided jihadist's accommodation. She called Pornography "the Muslim world's dirty little secret." According to Nomani pornography was so often found in Jihadist accommodation that there were special teams within the American intelligence establishment trained and delegated to analyze and exploit it.

Porn is frequently found by military teams who engage in “sensitive site exploitation” in raids on militant hideouts and safe houses, according to current and former U.S. military officials. All such finds are evaluated for use “in an information operation (IO) campaign to mold public opinion.””
